Dear Shareholders, Partners, Friends from All Sectors, and Colleagues:

Greetings! Gold vein has passed down a thousand years and benevolence and righteousness befriend the world. As a value anchor transcending economic cycles and a cornerstone of national strategy, gold increasingly demonstrates its irreplaceable core value amid profound shifts in the global landscape and accelerated high-quality development within the industry. Zhaojin International Gold Co., Ltd., dedicated to the precious metals industry, upholds the corporate mission of “prospering local economies, building a century-long brand, wisely utilizing finite resources, and co-creating infinite value.” Forged through trials and breaking through barriers amid the era's currents, we have established a trajectory of steady development.

Every instance of resilient growth stems from perseverance and innovation in adversity. Throughout our journey, we have faced multiple challenges and trials, yet it is precisely this tempering that has sharpened our developmental focus and strengthened our resolve to forge ahead. Since Shandong Zhaojin Group's strategic acquisition in 2025, the company has leveraged Zhaojin's full industrial chain resources and professional expertise. This infusion of capital has optimized governance structures, revolutionized management models, and fully addressed various bottlenecks and risks. Embracing the “Three Tenacity Spirit,” the company successfully navigated delisting risks, achieving a phoenix-like rebirth and returning to the fast track of specialized operations and standardized development. We deepened the development of the Vatukoula Gold Mine in Fiji, achieving a qualitative leap in operational performance through enhanced capacity restoration, technological upgrades, and management improvements, thereby laying a solid foundation for long-term growth.

Standing at this new developmental juncture, we will anchor our efforts to the strategic vision of “building a world-class gold mining company,” charting a blueprint for high-quality development through a “dual-engine approach.” We remain committed to deepening our strategic foothold in Fiji, vigorously advancing technological upgrades at core mines to accelerate capacity release and profitability enhancement. Concurrently, we will intensify domestic and international investment and M&A activities to drive synchronized growth in both scale and quality. We will reshape the image of the listed company by strictly adhering to compliance standards and comprehensively optimizing corporate governance structures. By deepening the synergy between industry and capital, prioritizing investor returns, and strengthening investor relations management, we will continuously elevate the company's recognition and reputation in capital markets. We will steadfastly implement ESG principles, integrating safety, ecological conservation, and social responsibility into every aspect of production and operations. We will foster shared development and harmonious coexistence with local communities. Upholding a people-centered approach, we will build a broad platform for employee growth and development, uniting a professional, efficient, pragmatic, and enterprising team. With an open mindset, we will deepen collaborative partnerships, forging win-win frameworks with friends from all sectors to deliver stable and sustainable value returns for shareholders and investors.

Gold has its price, but trust is priceless; our journey spans thousands of miles, yet our original aspirations remain steadfast. Zhaojin Gold pledges to join hands with friends from all sectors at home and abroad with the purity and resilience of gold itself. Together, we will seize the opportunities of our era, shoulder the mission of development, and forge a brilliant future!
